How to escape both comma and closing parenthesis in WHERE clause of WMIC?

Question

I am trying to retrieve the modification date of a file in a locale-independent manner, using the following wmic command:

wmic DataFile WHERE Na         


        

Answer 1

Solution:

D:\>mklink /H "1.jpg" "D:\p\a\t\h\fi,le.jpg"
Hardlink created for 1.jpg <<===>> D:\p\a\t\h\fi,le.jpg

D:\>wmic datafile where Name="D:\\1.jpg" list /format:list

I understand not wanting to rename a file, view its metadata, then rename it back to its original filename. I re-tried @JosefZ solutions and they didn't work. I also tried JosefZ's Powershell solution and that didn't work. @aschipfl - Windows 10 didn't show the 8.3 filenames of files in an NTFS external HDD when I ran dir/x in cmd. (Windows 7 did show such filenames, and running fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0 didn't fix it for Windows 10.)

It's not a perfect solution, for wmic is not a perfect program. Users who also had trouble escaping commas: Escaping strings when using wmic
